Chateau Haut-Brion: The original first-growth
Article Abstract:
Robert de Luxembourg, the managing director of Chateau Haut-Brion represents the fourth generation of the family to own the chateau and the family's holdings also include the well-respected Chateau La Mission-Haut-Brion, which are located in the appellation of Pessac-Leognan. Haut-Brion is considered as a near-perfect compromise between the Left Bank and the Right Bank of Bordeaux, a sort of blend of such wines as Lafite, Margaux and Cheval-Blanc.
